Présentation de l'oeuvre de l'artiste Alice Anderson qui mèle le réel et l'imaginaire dans ses créations.
"Les cheveux de poupée sont une référence directe à mes souvenirs d'enfance. Je me souviens de ces terribles peurs que j'avais lorsque j'étais seule à la maison et que j'attendais pendant de longues heures, le retour de ma mère. A cette époque, je m'inventais des rituels pour calmer mes angoisses. Par exemple, ces rituels consistaient à défaire des coutures de tissus et à utiliser les fils que je récupérais pour attacher certaines parties de mon corps ou d'autres objets. Peu après mes cheveux ont remplacé les fils.
Se souvenir relève d'un processus imaginatif. Bergson disait que parler du passé c'est rêver. Le temps est mon "matériau" principal, la toile dans laquelle je réinvente mes souvenirs. Je joue avec la dislocation du temps comme les enfants construisent des mondes parallèles. Enfant nous ne pensons pas de façon logique et notre conception du temps n'apparaît certainement pas comme étant une trajectoire linéaire et objective."
Le texte de l'ouvrage est en anglais.
"Dolls' hair refers to my childhood memories. I remember the terrible fears I used to have when I was a child left alone at home for many long hours waiting for the return of my mother. At that time I invented rituals for myself to calm my anxieties. These rituals consisted of undoing the thread from seams and I would wind these threads around parts of my body and other objects. Later I began to use hair instead of thread.
The act of remembering generates an imaginative and fictive account of the past Bergson once said that to talk about the past is to dream. Time operates as my working material my 'canvas', as I reinvent my memories. I play with the dislocation of time in the same way that children construct parallel worlds. As children, we do not think logically and our conception of time certainly does not operate along a linear or objective trajectory."

The first singular study of one of the key artists of the Art Deco movement, George Barbier (1882-1932) was a fashion illustrator to the leading stylists (Poiret, Lanvin, Paquin, Vionnet) of his time, as well as a set and costume designer for the theater, Russian ballet, and music hall. Barbier's work is also noted in the world of advertising, wallpaper design, and jewelry for Cartier, in albums, as well as in almanacs and precious illustrated books. This volume, with essays by Italian and French authors, marks the rediscovery of a very successful artist of 1920s Paris who was strangely forgotten after his death in 1932.
